Here's the version from the Weavers recording and Travelin' on with the Weavers Songbook:

BAY OF MEXICO

'Round that Bay of Mexico
Way, O, Suziannah,
Mexico is the place that I belong in,
'Round the Bay of Mexico.

Goodbye gals of Nassau town,
Way, O, Suziannah,
I'm bound away for the fishing ground. (Refrain)

When I am an old man bowed and bent,
Way, O, Suziannah,
Oh, never will I forget the happy hours I spent,
Around the Bay of Mexico. (Refrain)


Goodbye Sally, goodbye Sue,
Way, O, Suziannah,
And you that are listening, goodbye, too,
We're off to the Bay of Mexico. (Refrain)
